Bolted Tank with Dome Roof

Bolted Tanks with Dome Roofs are engineered storage systems that integrate a lightweight, self-supporting dome roof with bolted steel tank construction. The dome roof system provides effective weather protection, structural efficiency, and optional gas-tight performance while reducing roof loads on the tank shell.

This configuration is widely adopted in projects where roof durability, corrosion resistance, and functional integration are critical design considerations.

Dome Roof System Overview

The dome roof used on bolted tanks is typically a self-supporting structure designed to span the full tank diameter without internal columns. This design minimizes load transfer to the tank walls and eliminates the need for internal roof supports.

Dome roofs are commonly manufactured from lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials and assembled on site to match the tank geometry.

Key Advantages of Bolted Tanks with Dome Roofs

Lightweight & Self-Supporting Design

The dome roof structure reduces dead load on the tank shell compared to traditional flat or cone roofs.

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance

Dome roof materials are selected to perform reliably in aggressive atmospheric and high-humidity environments.

Weather & Environmental Protection

The enclosed dome roof protects stored media from rain, debris, and external contamination.

Optional Gas-Tight Performance

When specified, dome roofs can be engineered to provide controlled gas containment for specialized storage systems.

Long-Term Structural Stability

The dome geometry efficiently distributes loads, improving resistance to wind and environmental forces.

Typical Engineering Applications

Bolted tanks with dome roofs are suitable for storage systems requiring enhanced roof performance, including:

• Municipal and industrial storage facilities
• Environmental and infrastructure projects
• Utility and process storage systems
• Enclosed storage applications requiring roof sealing
